serialism

I was reading Karlheinz Stockhausen's How Time Passes (1957) in Die Reihe. So I made this.

Instuctions

The idea is that each note, clock division, and amplitude is used once per bar. Silly constrain but oh well let's explore it.

  • E1 select a serie
  • E2 and E3 select two items
  • K2 swap them
  • K3 shuffle the serie
  • K1+K2 reverse the serie
  • K1+K3 invert the serie

Gamepad select selects a serie, d-pad ←/→ and ↓/↑ selects items, A swaps and shuffles, and start is a shift for reverse and invert as with norns keys.

Requirements

  • norns
  • MIDI device for output
  • gamepad optional

Roadmap

  • Maybe gamepad HID composing? Somebody gave me one the other day.
  • Seems like just the thing for n.b.
  • crow interface
